This is our first IVF. I was on BC pills for three weeks and then Lupron, Bravelle and Menopur. My hubby gave me the trigger shot last night at 9pm. Tomorrow morning is the ER. :D I'm scared but hopeful!
First off, I love your name! Second, I too will be doing my retrieval tomorrow morning. How many follicles do you have? I am very excited and scared too. Good Luck!

:lol: Hi Jeck
Just wanted to say well done girl, 18 is fab, i might need to borrow some of them at a later date :wink:

Jenn - Can understand your upset but hang in there girl, it only takes one good strong fighter. :lol:

I have been fine so far on my medi. Seems strange the first couple of times i went through ivf everyone was concerned but this time it feels different and more like routine. This is making me a bit low, like i feel it might not work again. Will have to pull myself out of this one and get some PMA

Love to you all

hello ladies,

Still trying to get used to the board and keep up with everyone.

Rachael - Congrats on the adoption story. Such a blessing to be able to be that "mother" for someone that needs you so bad.

Jeck - 18 Fertilized eggs!!! WOW!!! You must be so excited!!!

Jenn - I only had a 3 fertilize when I did IVF my first round and only 2 of them looked any good. I now have my beautiful daughter so don't give up yet. (I know easier said than done)

Leap of faith - Welcome and good luck tommorrow



I have a question. I am wondering. I am on day 6 of stims and feel like I can feel my ovaries already. I kinda feel like I am going to start my period. Is this normal? I go in tommorrow for my first US since starting stims and I am so nervous to see what's going on in there.

Hey girls,
Well I went in for my baseline ultrasound today and gee big surprise I have a cyst. They are going to go ahead with my plan for now however, I will more than likely have to go back on friday for another ultrasound to make the final decision if I can start my stim meds friday or not. I am hoping and praying that we will be able to go ahead as planned. It seems so unfair to have to psyck myself up for all of these lovely shots and side effects and then have to postpone it. So how knows for now we are crossing our fingers and hoping for the best.
Jill

Rachel...I'm on day 6 too, and I'm starting to feel my ovaries pretty good today...They just raised my dosage, so I'm sure I'll be feeling them more in the coming days. It does sort of feel like I am bloated and heavier in my abdomen.

I have a question...Have any of you started buying baby stuff or maternity clothes..? I did when we started trying, and I feel like I jinxed myself...Just wondering if I'm a freak :wink: or remotely normal... :)

Hey Ladies, I met a wonderful lady when I was doing my FET cycle in July, Her name is Amanda and she posted this wonderful prayer that I wanted to pass along...

patientIVFpatient wrote:I have this prayer that I found that I try to pray each day--it helps to put it all in His hands.


Lord, Help me to KNOW that You are enough. Take my eyes off of myself. Take my eyes off of the child I desire. Help me to delight myself in You. Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient child. I don't want wanting to have a baby to be a stumbling block bwtween You and me anymore.

Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to You. Help me not to snatch it back as I so often do with the burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing.

Lord, You know that I still desire a baby--someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help grow in You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path.

Lord, if adoption is the path You would have us take, prepare our hearts, and prepare the child who will share ou home. If adoption is not Your will for our lives, keep me from pushing ahead of Your plan. Help me to stay submitted to Your will. If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts.

Thank you for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first! Let me seek Your face daily, and let me know that You are enough!!
